The hole is about 16,400 feet under the surface of the Atlantic and located half way between Tenerife and Barbados. It has a diameter of 10,000 to 13,000 feet.
The mysterious orifice is in an undersea mountain range, the kind of structure believed to form when Atlantic tectonic plates separate and volcanic lava surges upward to fill the gap in the earth's crust.
But that did not happen this time. Instead, the hole exposes the mantle, the material that makes up Earth's interior, said British geophysicist Roger Searle of Durham University, one of the lead researchers.
